How to Bandage and Use ACV on Cat?Question by P on 08/18/2007

To cover the wounds and prevent further problems if it it need be I would use vaseline to protect them to prevent airborne bacteria from such infection. Bandages applied only in case of a bad wounds which would cover a large part of the face by applying to wound to the back of the cat's head, but I would prefer to keep it simple and apply just the solution first, and if it's not working due to additional infection, then I would redo it and apply the vaseline as an added protection. At least that's how I would do it. The cat should eat fish as their body cannot synthesize certain amino acids such as taurine and some dietary foods for cat is therefore necessary so that they can heal.
The Milk of Magnesia - Iodine solution should be applied at least twice a day or as necessary so that whatever bacteria infection is dead giving a chance for some healing to commence. The drinking water in one liter should have some baking soda (never baking powder) about 1/2 teaspoon per one liter of water so the alkalizing solution will also further the healing process.
It's not a perfect solution but it is the best one I can come up with whenever there's unhealable skin infection, at least on my dog anyway due to certain infectious wounds, quite often it is the staphylococcus.
Hope this helps!
